Great Value, but know what you're getting...

I like this processor, but it's not one that will tolerate even mild overclocking. Also, having compatible and compliant memory is important. The 1866 MHz memory clock limit is a fixed wall, can't go past it. In the BIOS set the CPU frequency to 200 and the multiplier to 25 and enjoy.

The only problem i found with this chip is that you need to underclock it to become stable. When first installed it kept shutting down and now it likes to reboot windows 7 itself. Its aggrivating if you do not go into bios and try to find somewhat stable settings. Will stick with my old system setup at least it is stable

Needs Water Cooled!

I like the fact that it runs at 4.7 and uses 1866 with no trouble. I haven't tried running 4 sticks of 1866 yet but will and update. My idle temp with H100i is 28c and under load 50c. But I'm running 5 fans two intake and three exhaust. You do have to have at least a 1000 watt psu.

What a beast!

I have installed AMD processors for years, and this latest one does not disappoint! As a matter of fact, this thing is a beast! I have Linux Mint Rebecca KDE installed and am running Windows XP in Virtual Box. I dedicated 4 cores to VirtualBox,and that still leaves me with 4 to run Linux! What an upgrade from my AMD Athlon 32-bit dual core! I can't wait to see what happens when I render video with this! You'll need a good cooler with this, but it will downright fly with a good one!

Wasn't ready for this

If you aren't familiar with over clocking, leave the unit alone with you install it; this unit is more than adequate at stock clock. It would be better to go with an all-in-one loop water cooling loop, or a case with ample room for good air flow when planning on installing this thing. (Or obviously a custom loop) Normal CPU fans might have trouble keeping this CPU cool, but its not impossible. Its a huge upgrade for me and I couldn't be happier.
